94camaroz286speed

Alright so this has been bothering me for the past week or so I have a 94 camaro z28 6-speed with 75K miles . Ive noticed around the plastic around the shifter you have to remove to install a short shifter doesnt seem to fit right when I snap it back in. The side closest to the passenger doesnt seem to be a snug as it should like i can slip the tip of my finger in the crack. It is probably just how they were made and I'm probably being little **** bout it. So what you guys think anyone else notice this bout their z28 ?
